I'll get my coat

[Robbo-92]

Russell not happy, need to see the replay!

[Memento Mori]

That Bottas crash was ideal timing for Hamilton.

[Cuttooth]

That’s a nasty looking crash.

[Robbo-92]

Well, that was Russell at fault, no idea why he slapped Bottas’s helmet, made it look like Bottas was at fault.

[Memento Mori]

Red flag!

[Captain Kinopio]

Le Clerc Vs Verstappen Vs Norris

[Cuttooth]

How does Russell think that was anyone’s fault but his?

[Robbo-92]

He’ll claim Bottas moved, despite the fact Bottas was right on the racing line, second time he’s lost a potential point in Imola.

[Victor Mildew]

Definitely Russell's fault. Bottas left him room. I suspect frustration at nearly overtaking in a Williams and not being in that car.

[Captain Kinopio]

Yea I don't see that Bottas has done anything there, I think George may end up apologizing.

[Robbo-92]

Not seen an onboard from Bottas yet, but from the Alfa it looks like he might have even veered a little away from Russell?

[Imrahil]

Damage limitation for Lewis here. Got an opportunity to make up a lot of places on the restart though.

I think he just didn't factor in the wet inside line on that corner when he was overtaking.

I think Perez just had a brainfart with the safety car - because if you spin on a formation lap you can re-overtake. He really needs to get on top of the rules. God knows why the pit wall didn't order him to give the places back.

[captain red dog]

Russell totally at fault for that. I don't agree with Brundle, Bottas didn't move over suddenly, Russell had room, he just put it on the grass.

[captain red dog]

Lapped drivers get a lap back if it's a standing start don't they?

[Imrahil]

Yep, everything is reset.

[Robbo-92]

Not sure actually. Tsunoda is doing really well again.

[GrinWithoutaKat]

Unbelievably lucky for Hamilton. He should be out of this, but very much still in it now.

[Robbo-92]

Can’t believe Brundle is blaming Bottas for that, he took the racing line which clips the Alex and goes to the right and Russell tried to go round the outside and got on the grass?

[Captain Kinopio]

If Le Clerc gets Verstappen I'll absolutely love it.
